MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 399

Non-Government Schools Funding

MR CORNWELL: - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on 17 November 1992:

In relation to funding to non-government schools through the One Nation Package (Proof Estimates Transcript 723-4).

(1) What is the total funding in each area for (a) 1992-93 and (b) 1993-94.

(2) what criteria will apply for a share of such grants.

MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:

Funding from the One Nation Package for Non-Government Schools in the ACT is through the ACT Block Grant Authority which is a Commonwealth Government Capital Grant program. .

The ACT Block Grant Authority will receive additional funding as follows:

1992 calendar year $362,923

1993 calendar year .$356,604

The funds are available for both maintenance and/or new works. Not all ACT Non-Government schools will benefit from the One Nation Package as schools must apply and meet various criteria before being accepted for consideration for a grant under the allocation.

(2) The criteria which apply to the allocation of grants are set down by the Commonwealth Department of Employment, Education and Training and are at Attachment 1 and 2.

This Department has no input into the criteria which apply to the distribution of these grants.
